Heaven-Bird Poem by Richard (Narad) Eggenberger

Heaven-Bird - For Mary Helen

Enfolded in our deepest dreams
A soul embedded seeks release,
A spirit-force whose radiant streams
Reflect the vastness of its peace.
A truth awaits, a puissant Word,
A light within our body's cells,
A sound within the silence heard,
A music of far-off temple-bells
Entices the mind from reverie
Of idle, vain imaginings,
From sleep to wake and waking see
The heaven-bird on silver wings
Rising from the breast of night,
Resplendent in its Godward flight.
